Dog Power
This is a photograph of a wonderful 2014 Roadster, well specified and with, for me, a perfect colour combination.
The Dog is showing me what I must buy, so far I've resisted. But it has been hard. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to resist. But I must, I must....
When a Williams Dog takes one towards the car it has chosen for you then resistance requires very firm resolve. Am I strong enough??

Golly I think it is, the deal must be done!

The younger of the two Spanials, Roxie, nearly Rosie, hid the same toy under the front of Little Red Rosie, and the deal was done, I think the spell has been cast on you!

Someone needs to buy new cars so us skinflints can buy used ones.
You know it makes sense & you could take it to Brooklands to run it in!

Gentlemen, after a discussion with Caroline I have concluded that tempting though the 3.7 is Aldermog will be staying. Caroline agreed with me, the colour combination is simply perfect, and the extras are exactly as we would want, all £10Ks worth, but it isn't coming our way.
Why?
Very simple. We have no free cash until April 2015 when we get access to a pot of money that is on 3 year fixed at 2.7% matures and Caroline gets her preserved final salary pension plus lump sum.
So, should we replace Aldermog we know how Aldermog 2 would be specified. But no decisions until next year.

You could get a Williams Spaniel in the meantime ;-)

Just for fun I had a look at +8s This is virtually the same accessory and colour/detail specification as the Roadster in the photo: /0/]Plus 8 But £91,000???? Actually it has beed discounted as based on the price list it should be close to £95K!! That is almost £40K more than the Roadster. I'm sorry MMC, that is not a £91K car. A very well specified 3.7 Roadster with £10K of extras is at the most £55K, so the Plus 8 might make sense at £70K. But even that is a big ask. There are many, many options that offer more for less, including all used Aeros. The most expensive 2009 Aero 8 I could find is less than £60K. If they can't sell the car at a realistic price then perhaps they should think again about the Aero based +8 range. Look at it another way. A production Plus 8 with £10K accessories at £95K makes Brians SP1 look a hell of a good deal.
